When we as a nation and its leaders know, pursue and pray for the righteousness that God desires, as modeled by the Founding Fathers of America (i.e. our Godly heritage), then God will respond to our obedience and faith in Him with blessing and exultation for our nation, as He promised.

I have a passion to educate American citizens and inspire them to re-establish our country’s foundations with the Biblical principles that God had originally designed for us.

The liberal progressives has raped our people’s mind starting in the 60’s when they started taking the bible & God out of our education system. Lied about the start of this nation not found on Christiany, look up Benjiman Rush and John Jay to list a couple, which are many more that Presbyterians. What a sham job and we fell for it.

Wow as a Pastor, the very need for the covering of our Nation was founded out of the Word of God. Our Nation has no chance to stand as a City on a hill, lighted by the pages with out the Word of God. We must as a people fall upon are faces before the God of Heaven repent of our sins and return once again to the foundation of God’s Word.
